you aren't going to see very much of a difference between a $150 strut tower bar vs. an ebay one. so i say save your money and buy the ebay bar.

i rear sway bar is going to give you more performance than a strut tower bar

A strut bar is a strut bar, regardless where you buy it or how much you pay for it.
There are several points which should guide your choice.
It should be as straight and inflexible as possible
The tower brackets should use at least three mounting points
The tower brackets should not be stamped steel, but rather fully machined or fabricated from heavy gauge steel plate.
There should be some provision (turnbuckle) which can fine-tune (or preload) the length of the bar for proper operation.
If you can find this on EBay, good for you.
